what i have to say about your voice is :
1. you breath out a little too much when you sing. basically you need to remember that there shouldn't EVER be a lot of air coming out of your mouth when singing a note. it has to be a moderate proportion. you also need to practice breathing exercises (if you dont know which ones, email me or message me on here i'd be glad to help)
2. besides the exercises, i recommend drinking tea or water before singing, it loosens up your throat and makes it easier.
3. you have a nice voice, but every voice, whether perfect or not, needs to be professionally trained. even professionals occasionally need lessons, so keep that in mind. =]]
4. as for the vibrato, you're right you have a lot, but it's not a bad thing, you just need to learn when to use it. it's not meant for the end of EVERY line. it should be used in proportion.
5. try harmonizing, you'll expand your vocal range, and you'll learn notes better. do you play an instrument? if you have a piano around you could play a note on the piano and then sing that same note. it helps create perfect pitch.
6. don't sing in falsetto for now. train your voice to the register it's supposed to be in. this is because when you're young (11-21 for women) you can easily ruin your voice. its recommended that you dont sing in falsetto or flageolet registers.
7. try to loosen your voice, what i mean is dont strain it. the singing and air should come from your stomach and lungs, NOT your throat. so be carefull with that.
8. when you have certain letters such as "p" you have to make sure you pronounce it softly. not a hard "P". that's the thing w/ all words in singing. another example is the word "love" which is usually pronounced a lot like "lub" making the "v" softer and the "o" into a "U" sound. sorry if it's confusing, just remember that "hard" consonants should be transformed into soft consonants
if you need anything else just message me & i'll be glad to help.
there are some vocal exercises you can do to prevent the head voice and increase chest voice. also, there are some certain ways of breathing that'll get you to the right place. if you need specific details, i'll be glad to write them to you, but there's no more room on here, so message my inbox =]] hope i can help [ es's advice column | Ask es A Question ]
Dearbookworm answered Monday March 23 2009, 5:05 pm: Actually i would say your very good at this so good luck with the prefoming live. okay you go fast when it a very slow song and i can understand nerves make things worse so just calm down next time second your voice is beautiful it isn't like kelly's or martina's what i am saying is some singers can't do high notes so just go with what your lungs can handle.
I noticed that your reading off the screen which isn't bad you need to know the lyrics, but this song is very sad and depressing i would put a little more emotion not only in your voice but in your facial features as.
Well i believe what makes a good artist is when they actually feel something for the song they sing you don't have to cry on stage or nothing just put a little more of my boyfriend or friend or parent or whatever broke up with me, left me, or died something around there.
Your voice is very beautiful, and it is a bass which means that you can only go so high with the high notes but don't fret you'll get better once you get older and sing to a lot of different song's i would sing to celine dion, martina, leeann rimes people who hit the high notes and pratice your lungs to hit those to where you don't look like your about to collaspe from the lack of air.
If you really want to be a singer when you get older and preform on stage i would go to camps or get a singing tutor or go into go into you chore classes at school.
i don't want this to sound like critism, because it isn't your talented not a lot of people have great voices not even professional singers do, they have to use the sound boards in order to make them sound good. i am just trying to get your dream going good luck.
